In Seasons of Waiting

Everyday Farmer

“God how are You going to do this and when are You going to do it?  Why is it taking so long?”  Have those questions been yours? But think about the farmer who tends his crops.  He just keeps sleeping and rising and does what he can to enrich his soil and cultivate his crops but leaves the rest in the hands of God. 

Jesus spoke of the patient farmer in the Bible from Mark 4:26-28.  He sows his seed in the ground and then goes on his way, sleeping and getting up each morning and eventually the ground brings what the farmer has hoped for.  The farmer doesn’t know how the harvest will come or exactly when it will come but his job is to get up in the morning, do his work and then go to bed at night.  He’s patient until the harvest arrives.  Wait in hope. God is working.  And while you’re waiting you can grow by spending time reading what He says and trusting Him…everyday.
